Unhinged animal activists

.. More than 2,000 people signed a petition on Change.org ..LOL.

That website's Ground Zero for virtue signalling, now.

Where does the BLM stand on this?

[Gay State Conservative]

The very same folks who *still* believe that the “Gentle Giant” was shot in the back.While he had his hands raised.

An ape is not a person.

...but that charges could eventually be sought by the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney

Would I be wrong to assume that the County DA is a RAT?

Parenting is becoming a lost art.

I agree the gorilla had to be killed but the parents should face charges as well.

Obummers fault. He made Xanax and Valium nearly impossible to Score, even for Zoosters.

[Robert DeLong]

called for the child's parents to be "held accountable for their actions of not supervising their child."

All it takes is a second of distract for a child of that age to do something like this. Also he must be a white child, otherwise, they are racists.

The Brits - those insane animal-lovers, are in meltdown over this. Some sick folks over there.

It’s a zoo.
Surely they had a tranquilizer gun.
I don’t think lethal force was required.
The parents are the ones who should have been shot.

[Vermont Lt]

I took my kids to zoos all over the country. They never tried to climb into a gorilla cage. And my girls were a handful.

I have to wonder what the mom was doing at the time.

I don’t feel one way or the other about shooting the gorilla, I simply don’t blame the gorilla for acting like an ape.

[dfwgator]

Remember the last time a gorilla was killed in a zoo.

[Karl Spooner]

I didn’t see the video posted yet. Here it is.

The reaction is predictable. Imagine if the gorilla had a name.

[metmom]

It’s about time that parents were held accountable for their children’s actions.

While kids can certainly move quickly, and are masters at noticing when their parents attention is off them because they got distracted, apparently the kid was in the enclosure for a bit before the ape went after him.

Someone should have told the kid to get out of there and that’s missing from the story.

[Rockpile]

I wonder how long gorilla steaks would need to marinate.

[Gay State Conservative]

Having just seen the video there's *no* doubt that the zoo did the right thing.The gorilla could very well have hurt the kid without even meaning to.

[Thumper1960]

It is too bad that there isn’t an ape rapper on staff. Much like a dog whisperer.
